Lyrics

[Chorus]

Is it easier to stay, is it easier to go?

I don't wanna know, oh

But I know that I'm never ever gonna change

And you know you don't want it any other way

[Verse 1]

Why do we always gotta run away?

When we wind up in the same place

It's like we're lookin' for the same thing

Same thing, yeah (Yeah)

[Verse 2]

Do we really gotta do this now?

Right here with all your friends around

In the morning we can work it out

Work it out

[PreChorus]

I love you so much that I hate you

Right now it's so hard to blame you

'Cause you're so damn beautiful

So damn beautiful

[Chorus]

Is it easier to stay, is it easier to go?

I don't wanna know, oh

But I know that I'm never ever gonna change

And you know that you're always gonna stay the same

Is it easier to stay, is it easier to go?

I don't wanna know, oh

But I know that I'm never ever gonna change

And you know you don't want it any other way

[Verse 3]

Every time that you say you're gonna leave

That's when you get the very best of me

You know we need it like the air we breathe

Air we breathe, yeah

[PreChorus]

I love you so much that I hate you

Right now it's so hard to blame you

'Cause you're so damn beautiful

So damn beautiful

[Chorus]

Is it easier to stay, is it easier to go?

I don't wanna know, oh

But I know that I'm never ever gonna change

And you know that you're always gonna stay the same

Is it easier to stay, is it easier to go?

I don't wanna know, oh

But I know that I'm never ever gonna change

And you know you don't want it any other way

[Bridge]

The hardest part of all

Is that we're only built to fall (Is it easier? Oh)

[Chorus]

Is it easier to stay, is it easier to go?

I don't wanna know, oh

But I know that I'm never ever gonna change

And you know that you're always gonna stay the same

Is it easier to stay, is it easier to go?

I don't wanna know, oh

But I know that I'm never ever gonna change

And you know you don't want it any other way

[Outro]

I love you so much that I hate you

Right now it's so hard to blame you

'Cause you're so damn beautiful
